Spider silk has the ability to heal wounds, and the silk on her thousand-jin rope is even top-notch. It's normal for his wound to heal quickly. This is why she didn't worry about his wound at the time.
But she couldn't tell him that.
She curled her lips, looking at someone ungrateful. "Do you know what a wonderful medicine I used to save you? It was one of the few Great Huan Dan pills my master left me! When your hand was injured, the medicine was still effective in your body, so the wound healed quickly. What's so strange about that?"
Compared to the uniqueness of the rope, he was more willing to believe her words, and thought: Maybe, Dahuan Dan is the medicine that can help him force the Qinglian Book out of his body?
Thinking of this, he became very curious about the master she mentioned and asked, "Who is your master?"
"Back then, Master suddenly appeared, secretly taught me medical skills, and then left. She also told me not to tell anyone about her and not to claim to be her disciple. Alas, Master, I don't even know your identity yet..."
Lin Jinghan repeated what she had said to Xiang Yuanqing and Gu Chuan that day, adding more fuel to the fire. She almost believed it and even showed a nostalgic expression.
He had secretly investigated Lin Jinghan's background. Her family was extremely poor. If she really had these abilities, why would she have almost been sold to the landlord's stupid son?
Therefore, he only believed her halfway. "Tell me your master's characteristics, and I will definitely help you find him and reunite you two."
Lin Jinghan shook her head helplessly. "Master once said that if one day I reveal the skills I have learned, that will be the end of my relationship as master and disciple..."
She seemed to be reminded of sad memories, her eyes misty, but she looked up stubbornly, holding back her tears, and laughed at herself, "If I hadn't faced a life-and-death crisis on the Mountain of No Return, I wouldn't have revealed my abilities. After all, it was me who severed this master-disciple relationship..."
Sikong Zhan frowned: Teaching people skills but not letting them use them, I always feel that this statement is hard to believe... But when he saw Lin Jinghan's expression - obviously sad, but stubbornly refusing to cry, with self-blame overflowing, he couldn't even utter a word of doubt...
Let's just assume she's been hiding her abilities because of her master's words. No matter what her past is, as long as she remains useful and obedient, he'll let her stay by his side as Princess Jingnan.
Seeing that Lin Jinghan was lost in sad thoughts, he stopped talking, picked up his pen and continued to review the documents.
After finishing the last document, he stopped writing and broke the silence in the room: "Come with me to the mine."
…
In the No Return Mountain, inside the competition venue.
The three hundred officers and soldiers of the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion should have been able to easily defeat the one hundred Jingnan Army, but the actual situation on the field was not what Xiao Ce expected.
Xiao Ce believed that the Jingnan Army was small in number and would inevitably disperse in order to avoid being easily captured. Therefore, he made a bold decision - to let the people of the Jingji Defense Battalion divide into groups to search for the Jingnan Army separately.
Xiao Ce would never have expected that his decision would play exactly into Mu Wenyao's hands.
The captain of the first team of the Beijing Aircraft Defense Battalion was leading a group of ten people to the area he was responsible for.
He glanced around and said, "Search separately, don't stray too far away. If you encounter the Jingnan Army, don't get entangled with them. Send a signal to notify everyone to reunite immediately."
Not long after, a signal sounded in the southwest, and those who heard the signal immediately rushed to the source of the signal.
The first person who arrived hadn't even stood still when a black shadow flashed before his eyes. Before he could react, he was knocked unconscious.
He was quickly carried away, leaving no trace at the scene...
The Jingnan Army used the same trick again. The people from the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion knocked out one by one, carried them away and tied them up. Soon, all ten people from the first team were knocked out and carried away.
This scenario played out in numerous locations across the arena—the Jingnan Army blew the signal whistle used by the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion, drawing the troops over, then knocked them out with lightning speed. Even in the rare instances where multiple troops appeared simultaneously, after a few exchanges of blows, the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion's troops would be routed.
The Jingnan Army, operating in small groups, took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to divide and conquer the Jingji Defense Battalion, quickly subduing them. Before long, nearly half of the Jingji Defense Battalion's men were gone from the arena.
Mu Wenyao gave this operation a very appropriate code name - catching a turtle in a jar.
If Xiao Ce knew that his decision to group people directly led to his people being arrested, he would definitely regret making this decision.
However, even if he didn't divide them into groups, with three hundred people tied together, they couldn't escape the fate of failure...
Two hours later, most of the people from the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion were captured. The Jingnan Army sent a group of people to watch over the kidnapped people, and the rest of the people began to stroll around the stadium leisurely. If they came across people from the Beijing Machinery Defense Battalion, they would capture them. If they couldn't find any, they didn't rush to search for them. They were leisurely walking around as if they were shopping.
Their mission has never been to compete, but to delay time.
In the Jingnan Army base, Lin Jinghan followed Sikong Zhan to the mine. The Jingnan Army soldiers were busy transporting iron ore, and the speed could almost be described as flying.
"We must evacuate the Bugui Mountain before dawn tomorrow. We cannot allow the Emperor to find evidence that we once mined iron ore here."
"Oh." Lin Jinghan had already made up her mind to be a quiet quail and did not respond.
If they thought about it carefully, the Jingnan Army was secretly mining iron ore here. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely punish the Jingnan Army. So, they should destroy the mine? But if they destroyed the mine, wouldn't that be a clear signal to the world that they were trying to cover up their crime?
Seeing Lin Jinghan being so nonchalant, Sikong Zhanwei felt a little displeased: He had just complied with her wishes and agreed to her request, but now she doesn't want to contribute anymore?
It doesn't matter, he has plenty of ways to make her take the initiative.
"Is there any way to block these two mines without letting anyone know? It would be best if no one could find the mineral veins here." He stared at her and asked.
"It's difficult..." She looked at the mine in front of her, frowning and thinking carefully. However, she was not thinking about the method Sikong Zhan wanted. Instead, she was thinking, if no one came here anymore, then after she was free, could she secretly come here to open a mine and make a fortune? After all, the iron ore content here was quite considerable!
Seeing Lin Jinghan lost in thought, Sikong Zhan was very satisfied.
He had already come up with a plan to erase all traces of mining here. He asked her just to see if there was a better way. Even if Lin Jinghan didn't have a solution, it wouldn't affect his plan.
So, he was not in a hurry and waited for her patiently.
